I need to upgrade my RB2. Probably going to start offering 2 for 1 deals to people with weak #3s, which of my RBs should I offer?

Those WRs are pretty damn good. CJ and JJ are studs, and Vincent Jackson, while inconsistent, is a pretty damn good #3. Britt is a sleeper, assuming he can stay healthy and keep his head on straight, and Boldin is solid.

Out of those RBs, I think you should keep CJ (duh) and Bernard, who I think will be a good #2. Ivory probably will get injured, I'm not really expecting much of him, and Ball, well if he's stuck in a committee then he's not gonna do much, IMO. Williams could post some good numbers if Stewart misses a lot of time.

I wouldn't be afraid to use Boldin in a trade, either. His name carries a lot of weight for the more out-of-tune fan, and they'll think higher of him than his production would indicate.

I'm really liking the strategy of going WR in the first three rounds for PPR, which is what I assume you did. Calvin and Marshall will, in all likelihood, both be Top 5 players (outside of QBs) in PPR leagues. RBs are sort of meh to me, I would have looked for Sproles or Bush, both usually available in rounds 4 and 5, or Vereen a little later on, but Gore and Bell are not too bad. Witten is a PPR god at TE, last year he was only like 5 points behind Graham. Romo is a great value pick later on in the draft, and Josh Gordon is a great late pick, as is Jordan. Palmer, well he's basically for the bye week, hoping Romo doesn't get injured. Lacy is sort of a mystery to me, I just can't figure out how he'll wind up playing out. And Richardson, well I just don't know what is going to happen in St. Louis to legitimately choose a back, but since it's a late pick it's ok.

Do you think Ivory + Boldin, or Ivory + Mathews (try to get rid of the injury-prone lol) for a solid RB1/2 like Gore is a realistic option (assuming they need WR and RB help)

If it's a ten team league, I think you're in pretty good shape.

Yes, I took receivers in the first 3 rounds. It's a bit of a risk, I know...the thought behind it is that it gives me a strong advantage week in/week out and weakens the rest of the league at that position. It is essentially 1/3 of the playing roster, so it could be significant. We will see what happens when draft day actually comes. And, FWIW, I only go that route if Megatron is left available to me. Otherwise I would have gone with McCoy, Spiller or Trent, and adjusted my later picks accordingly.

I was targeting Bush in the 4th, but he got nabbed a pick or two ahead of me. I agree, my backs are meh, but as long as I get consistency out of them, I think having the strength in the rest of my roster will more than make up for it. There are a couple of backs that I wish I felt stronger about, one way or the other, namely Lamar Miller and David Wilson. Both flash the talent but lack the consistency. Richardson and Lacy will both be starters; the hope with drafting them is that one would break out and make me look like a genius. I wasn't super high on either of them, but after watching how bad Isaiah Pead and Johnathan Franklin were this afternoon, I felt better about both of them to at least get a reasonable number of touches. I also could have taken Gio Bernard but would not have been able to take Seattle if I had. I'm still tossing it back and forth as far as which direction I should have gone on that.

I could have had Gronk or Witten, but decided to play it safe. Witten will outpace nearly every TE in PPR, and that is worth more to me than banking on Gronk getting healthy. Cameron was the best available late round TE that had a different bye than Witten. I could have also gone Gronk/Cook.

I know it isn't a traditional move, but Givens is actually an insurance policy for Richardson. Thus far, Richardson is the only Rams back that looks ready to play in the NFL this year. If he does well, I think he could be a huge sleeper. If not, then the Rams will be forced to throw a lot more, and Givens will get more targets. Additionally, I think Gordon could be a huge sleeper this year.

I haven't done a 12 teamer in a long time, but on paper it looks very solid. Granted, your backs are much stronger than your WRs, but backs are harder to come by...you should be able to make a trade if you need to.

Victor Cruz exited Sunday night's preseason game against the Colts with a foot injury.

He went in for an X-ray and was immediately ruled out for the remainder of the game. Cruz got injured running a vertical route in double coverage, drawing a penalty flag deep in Colts territory. We still don't know how badly he's hurt. It's possible the Giants are just sitting Cruz as a precaution.

for me, trent and lynch are in tier one. interesting you have spiller and charles in that tier in non-ppr, but just my opinion. demaryius and roddy white are a tier below the group of marshall/bryant/jones/green. they are with andre, fitz, etc. for me. gronk is like a half tier above the other TEs besides Graham. and i have matt ryan with brady/newton because that offense has so much qb potential.

i'm not going to go too deep into it, but among the first 3 or so those are my suggestions

RBs were basically split into tiers of who would I draft over Calvin Johnson

our draft is the 30th so I should know whether or not Gronk is going on the PUP list, if he isn't he is knocked up to tier 1 with Graham if he is then I think he belongs in the 2nd tier

It's good, but WR is pretty weak. Bowe hasn't caught a pass in the two games in preseason even though he's played plenty Smith just hasn't really went to him. Nicks is good when healthy, but will he be healthy? Thats a big risk.
